Yes.
And Sigil is less automated (you create style to CSS maps) but more powerful and flexible. Actual regular novels without eye candy take about 5 to 10 minutes to convert, check and clean up with Calibre.
We converted about 20 MSS (about 50 k to 130 k words) from LO Writer with extra docx Save As, with Calibre in the last month. Most of the time was actually reading. Zero errors on Calibre Check and Epub Check in the Calibre Editor. Save To Disk. Zero complaints on upload to Amazon, Smashwords (all passed premium to Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Nobel etc) and Google Playbooks.
